Chapter 20: Get on your knees
In the Kuntai Palace, the main hall.
Jing Yan sat upright.
Bingbi entered and replied loudly: "Master, the two capitals of the Tai Hospital serve the Queen Mother in Shoukang Palace, and the slave maid had to invite Master Shi. ”
Jing Yan's tense expression froze when he heard this, and he wrinkled his brows and stared at the emaciated man who was walking behind Bingbi. He had a pale face, a hunched body, and seemed to have been bent over.
Jing Yan felt a pain in her heart: Is this still the brother Ran she is familiar with?
"Her Royal Highness the Queen......" Shi Ran leaned over and saluted.
Jing Yan hurriedly asked Xiao Nei to help him up.
Shi Ran raised his head and looked at each other.
Jing Yan felt another pain in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Yet...... Brother Ran, what are you doing...... What does this look like? ”
The young man who was once handsome and handsome, like a bamboo in the wind, has now dyed his sideburns white.
When Shi Ran heard the voice of "Brother Ran", suddenly sadness came from it, his eyes turned red instantly, and he cried bitterly: "Yan'er...... Empress...... Wechen is incompetent......"
As he spoke, he paused on the ground.
Jing Yan's body trembled, and he clenched the armrest of the chair under him like a jade-like palm, and forced himself to endure the mourning that erupted: "Brother Ran...... Don't you ...... Don't do this...... Wise...... His Majesty is like this, my heart aches, and it is no less than your ......"
"No!" Shi Ran shook his head suddenly, "It's because Weichen is incompetent, his medical skills are not good, and he can't protect His Majesty's life...... Wechen is incompetent, it's Wechen incompetent! ”
Jing Yan closed his eyes, suppressed the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and his eyes returned to clarity in an instant.
"Brother, it is not your fault that the matter of philosophy is the arrow...... That arrow ......"
She bit her lip so much that it bleeds, and it is hard to say any more.
When Shi Ran heard this, his thin palms clenched suddenly, his body trembled slightly, and he bowed to the ground: "Your Royal Highness the Queen, Weichen is trying his best to investigate the origin of that arrow, and he will definitely avenge His Majesty!" ”
As he spoke, the light in his eyes reappeared, and he said angrily: "When His Majesty's great revenge is avenged, Weichen will kill himself in front of His Majesty's Zizi Palace and apologize for his crime with death!" ”
"No!" Jing Yan was shocked, "No! Brother, don't do that! ”
Her heart hurt and scared -
What kind of friendship has the man in front of him had for Zhe since he was a child, the three of them grew up together, how could Jing Yan not know? She was really afraid, afraid that on the Huangquan Road, Zhe would have the company of his brother by his side, and he would no longer have his own place.
What's more, their love since childhood, how could she see this man who is as gentle as a brother and go like this? He was burdened with the expectations of his family, which were all the hopes of dozens of unjust souls. He shouldn't have put his life on the line for someone who had died, even if that person was her philosopher. However, my brother should marry a wife and have children, he should be glorious, and he should be full of children and grandchildren, and enjoy the joy of family.
Shi Ran shook his head, unmoved, and said firmly: "Weichen has made up his mind. I just ask Her Royal Highness the Queen to take care of the phoenix body, don't let down ......"
He took a sharp breath and continued, "...... Don't live up to Your Majesty's full heart. ”
Jing Yan gritted his teeth, and his eyes were red: "Brother Ran, that's not what you say." Zheta must not want you to die for him, you should live a good life, don't forget that you are carrying the hope of the Shi family! ”
Shi Ran was silent.
"What's more," Jing Yan said again, "Brother, you study hard in the cold window, and you have knowledge, how can you be trapped by love and let down your own talents?" The new emperor is about to ascend the throne, and she needs your help. ”
"The new emperor?" Shi Ran looked up in horror.
"Yes. The new emperor Yu Wenrui is the only daughter of Prince Xiaohuai back then, and she is also the younger sister of Zhe......"
"An only daughter? From the sister? Shi Ran's eyes widened.
"Exactly." Jing Yan nodded.
"Where is she now?" Shi Ran asked urgently.
"Bingbi invited you here to treat that child."
"What's wrong?" Shi Ran's face was eager.
Jing Yan was helpless on his face: "It's just a child fighting, it's not a serious illness, it's probably just some skin trauma." ”
When Shi Ran heard this, his mind was relaxed, and he straightened his wrinkled official robe, and his spirit was raised for a while.
"Okay, Aunt Bingbi will lead the way, and Weichen will go and see her."
Bingbi hurriedly returned the salute and led the way.
Jing Yan hurriedly said: "Brother Ran, and Yue'er are also in the back room, so I bother you to take a look." ”
"Yue'er?" Shi Ran raised his eyebrows.
Jing Yan was slightly stunned, and she really felt that her little niece was embarrassed: "Yue'er and the new emperor fought, and both of them suffered skin injuries......"
Shi Ran's face was strange, and he couldn't hold back his smile in the end, so he pulled his feet and left.
As Bingbi took two steps, he suddenly paused, turned his head to look at Jing Yan, and examined the situation.
"Your Majesty cares about Her Royal Highness the Queen, even more than her own body, her feelings are deep and earnest, which makes people moved, and she thinks about it even more compassionately. Now that His Majesty has gone to Huangquan alone, is it ...... Your Royal Highness What are your plans? ”
Jing Yan was once again reminded of the sad thing, and his heart was full of sorrow. She really doesn't want to put what she thinks in front of anyone, even if she is a brother like a relative, she can't do it.
She pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "This palace has its own plans. ”
Shi Ran looked at her fixedly, and said after a while: "Your Highness should remember Your Majesty's friendship." ”
After that, he went straight with the pen.
Jing Yan was alone, sitting alone in the hall, his mind was clear.
She lifted her snow-colored eyes and glanced at the palace, there were countless chamberlains and palace maids, and it was not empty, but she felt that her heart was cold.
This huge palace, without that person, is like a huge snow cave. It's cold.
However, she had to go on her own. Not only must we hold on, but we must also show our strength and regain the glory of our ancestors and ancestors.
It was not only her life's dream, but also the dream of Zhe, and even the dream of the Queen Mother's aunt Duan Wenyuan!
Otherwise, Aunt Duan Dowager would not have taken such a big risk back then......
At this moment, Xiao Nei entered the inner chamber and said, "Master, General Shenwei's wife asks to see you." ”
Jing Yan was awakened by this sound.
"Please."
She knew that her sister-in-law must have been greeting the Queen Mother, and her only daughter was beaten, so she rushed over in a hurry.
The wife of the Shenwei general Jing Heng, named Meng Wanting. As the name suggests, the face is gorgeous, dazzling, and really soft and graceful.
However, Jing Yan knows that her sister-in-law, Rouwan is just the surface, and I am afraid that only her only daughter who has seen her gentle side is her overly pampered daughter. Wan Ting is also a person who works hard in front of people, and her scheming is first-class, and in the house, especially in her brother's courtyard, it is the most domineering.
Doesn't it say, "Where there is a mother, there must be a daughter"? Isn't Yue'er like her mother? It's just that Yue'er is a solid-hearted child, not as scheming as Meng Wanting.
As soon as Meng Wanting stepped into the main hall, a pair of apricot eyes involuntarily searched around for the trace of her precious daughter, but found nothing.
"Sister-in-law is here." Jing Yan stood up and greeted him.
Meng Wanting raised her eyebrows and looked at Jing Yan.
After the new funeral of the Son of Heaven, she saw her for the first time, the most noble sister-in-law of the entire Jing family. Like her only daughter, Meng Wanting is also a little respectful and afraid of this sister-in-law, but after all, she is from a beautiful background, and she has been married to Jingfu for nearly ten years, and her eldest sister-in-law is full of momentum.
With a posture, Meng Wanting owed a debt, and she wanted to meet her with a national gift: "See Queen Chitose." ”
How could Jing Yan not know the heart of her eldest sister-in-law? She even wanted to see if Meng Wanting would really bow down if she didn't stretch out her hand to stop her. However, this thought is just a thought in the head.
"Sister-in-law, don't be so outside." Jing Yan smiled slightly, and held Meng Wanting in vain.
Meng Wanting couldn't even care about greeting Jing Yan for the "pain of bereavement" at this time, she lost her past politeness, and went straight to the topic in the middle of winter, asking, "Yue'er is here?" ”
Jing Yan secretly sneered at her spoiled daughter so much that she even forgot all about Su Ri's cover-up.
"Yue'er is in the apse."
At this moment, several palace maids brought back the two naughty boys.
The two little dolls, although their clothes were torn to shreds, their heads, faces, and bodies were even more bruised, and their faces were swollen and bruised, but fortunately, they were all skin injuries. At best, it was just ointment and a few bandages.
The second child was treated by Shi Ran, changed into clean clothes, and was led by the palace maid to see Jing Yan.
Jing Jiayue saw her mother sitting under the emperor's aunt at a glance, her mouth was flattened, and she felt even more aggrieved in her heart.
Meng Wanting also saw her appearance, and her heart ached. Seeing that there was a female doll standing next to her, she also looked miserable, and suddenly understood that the so-called "a little girl fighting with Miss Sun" by the people in the house was the little girl in front of her.
She raised her eyebrows, and she was about to have a seizure. A moment before he spoke, he suddenly saw the number of four-clawed golden dragons on Yun Rui's new purple robe, and secretly took a cool breath-
This is the color of the crown prince's uniform!
She held back her mind and didn't dare to attack, so she only twisted to Jing Yan, wanting to find out.
Unexpectedly, Jing Yan already had a cold face, stared at Jing Jiayue, and shouted: "Yue'er!" Kneel down for Hongu! ”
